ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a system having multiple modular transformers each including a phase-shifted primary winding coupled to an input power source and phase-shifted secondary windings each coupled to a power cell. The system further includes different phase output lines coupled to a load. These lines may include first, second and third phase output lines.
